    I thoroughly enjoyed your “12 ways to divide the UK”. I shudder to think what you could do to the USA!

    Wow. Just when I thought the UK couldn’t be more unfair and snobbish, you surprised me. I wonder if you would have posted this had your family been held back from getting jobs and alienated at college because they faced this kind of rampant prejudice, the way mine have?

    Wars is a haven for paramilitary flute bands? (Map 11) Don’t tell any of the BRASS BANDS that famously are the main welsh music stuff.

    Seriously, they’ve descriebd the landscape of “T’ North” as all “postindustrial depression”, have they forgotten that the huge grey section includes (from south end to north end of the region): Lincolnshire wolds, peak district (white limestone peak), shropshire hills, peak district (dark millstone grit peak), south pennines, lincolnshire wolds, yorkshire wolds, yorkshire dales, yorkshire moors, north pennines, lake district, northumberland forests, northumbria coast, cumbria coast and cheviot hills? And the “dreary suburban sprawl” ought to be expanded to take in norfolk and peterborough?

      The grey section is basically where all the best scenery in England is!

    It is tongue in cheek, or did you miss that? I speak as an ‘inbred farmer’!

    Nothing but ill-informed (mostly negative) stereotypes. A font of ignorance.

    It’s funny until, the bit about South West England being inbred pirates. From Bob Plymouth (South West England).

    When it’s cold, the Welsh come out in shorts and flip-flops for some reason. I’ve never understood it. Normal clothes in the summer. Shorts and flip-flops to go shopping at McGlen in the winter!
